"some of us here are not so thrilled about Obama"

I'm certainly not thrilled. But only a duckwit would say he's a fascist, or that he's trying to destroy the middle class.

Helen Clark puts forward a plan to fight poverty and to fight CO2 too. I'm all for fighting poverty. I do it each day. Look at ElM go, fighting poverty, laying fibre for CDMA. Hopefully to make a lot of profit for me and him and Huawei and the users of the service.

Bludging Clark's idea of fighting poverty is, of course, to take OPM away from people who do useful things and give it to her to save the world. She really knows how to spend it and loves to spend great gobs of it.

I'm fighting Global Cooling. We need more CO2 to do it.

Helen Clark, as usual, has it all wrong, but at least she gets a huge salary from OPM and wastes it and her expenses and flies around the world to various CO2 jamborees burning jet fuel by the ton and staying in expensive carbon burning hotels eating luxurious food all along the way.

Check out the photo of her and compare it with the one of her glowering at George Bush.

Yes, it's annoying if people demand things of me. I decide what I want. My cynicism is just fine, especially with some skepticism added. Not to mention doubt and mistrust. Plus I like my comfort zone. Comfort zones are great. Very snuggly and comfortable. Safe, secure and pleasant. Push myself? What for? If I go, I go, if I don't that's fine by me. I hope to remain uninvolved. It's annoying when some government department comes around, kicks my door in demanding that I be involved some more, which always involves me giving them my money = if I express opinions and be involved in any way other than providing cash, they ignore me.

< He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." - Michelle Obama >

It's not me who should put down my divisions. It's the evil-doing Clarksters who want to rob me, grabbing cash for themselves and mates. If CO2 doomsters disagree with me THEY should put down their division, changing opinion.

Nor do I wish to be informed about their latest grand scheme to save the world by spreading OPM around lavishly. It's enough that they take my money without also wanting me to be informed about how they plan to waste it.
